I hadn't forgotten about him but your little bit about him made me look him up on Ultimate Mets Database. As it turns out he was who they traded back then for Bobby Bo in 1998. https://www.nytimes.com/1998/11/12/sports/baseball-mets-take-a-big-step-back-to-the-future.html Needless to say due to Bobby's contract, the franchise still feels his ghosts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armando was actually pretty good overall. The problem was in big games he always choked. World Series 2000 Game 1 for an example when he let an injured Paul O'Neill draw a 12 pitch walk off him and then scored the tying run. 2001 was quite symbolic imo for his tenure as Met. He was something like 43/44 in save opportunities that year. Of course in the game that mattered the most against the Braves at the end of that year when the team was making a comeback for 1st place, he couldn't get the save. I thought fans were a little hard on him overall but wasn't exactly sad when he got traded to the Yankees of all teams. Present day: a bit concerned about Wheeler. I thought he finally had it together after last season's 2nd half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of similar to Familia in 2015. Lights out regular season, had his struggles in the World Series. For Familia it was the Alex Gordon HR in the 9th inning of game 1. But ya know what, it happened to Eckersley against Gibson back in 1988 when Eck had been utterly dominant. I think the modern baseball fan is spoiled by Rivera's remarkable career and the expectations for closers are sometimes unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rosenthal goes 8 innings without giving up an earned run he can drop his ERA to 9.00 In similar news , after posting a MLB worst ever batting average of .168 last year, Chris Davis is on an 0 for 50 run at the plate that stretches back to last year and 0 for 29 this year. If he goes on an 8 for 11 run he still won't be at .168. And by the way, after 3 starts Matt Harvey's ERA is 10.05 Meanwhile going into last night Pete Alonso was the first rookie since 1900 to have 11 extra base hits in his first 10 games. I thought bringing him up at the start of the season and foregoing a year of contract control was stupid. I'll take a mulligan on that one.

Gugny Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Great win last night. Matz looked sharp through 6. Alonso's HR velocity was 118 MPH; only G. Stanton and A. Judge have faster (it's only been tracked since 2015). Familia looks like crap, but I enjoy watching Diaz pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick's hands are tied and we know that...too see McNeil pack his bags and head west would be sickening and would probably cost us a solid playoff run.I highly,HIGHLY doubt either Cano and or Frazier would put up better numbers than he would....and I don't mean meaningless home runs throughout the season. In addition...if Mick takes AB's away from Alonso/Smith to be "courtesy guy" to Frazier for seniority reasons....I'll punch a hole in a wall...I can see that happening.

LOL on the crickets I honestly don't keep up to date on the minor league team and the prospects. I have no idea where Conlon is these days. I think McNeil is solidifying his spot on the Major League roster as our Ben Zobrist type. He'll play a good deal but not have a set position. But how they manage the return of Frazier and then Lowrie will probably cause some agita...especially if they don't play well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
